It's been a long year, it’s been a hard year See so many good people trying Just makes me wanna cry. It’s been a hard time, been such a long time And as the days roll on I wonder, how could it go wrong. The winter rain pours down, the summer sun burns the ground And can we do enough You know, we’ve got to rescue us. Just want to see you, just want to hold you And is your heart breaking You know sure broke mine. It’s been a long year, been such a hard year And as the days roll on, I wonder how could it go so wrong And is your heart broken, you know sure broke mine Now can we do enough, you know we’ve got to rescue us The winter rains pours down, the summer sun burns the ground You can talk on it all day long, won’t you tell me now, how could it go so wrong? The clock doesn’t turn back and our chances are running out We’ve got to stop what we’re doing, we’ve got to stop, now. It’s been a long year, it’s been a hard year And can we do enough, IF ONLY WE CAN RESCUE US

But listening to it now, I always seem to find it uplifting and hopeful.'

Remembered for their iconic performances and forging the foundations of London’s pub-rock scene, the Brinsleys brewed up a storm throughout the early 70s, with opening slots for the likes of Paul McCartney
